You ship a new feature, only to learn the underlying system is scheduled for retirement in six months. Stakeholders question roadmap credibility. Engineers rework integrations. Budgets stretch. You're forced to explain why a 'completed' initiative won’t go live. This cycle repeats every planning window, fueled by misaligned timelines between product and platform teams. It’s not a communication problem , it’s a structural.
